Has anyone been to the North East side? It's an extra $10 but it's a lot of green trails mixed with blue that the big trucks might be ok with. I took my jeep over there last month and it wasn't to tight. I actually wheeled with a guy that had a trailer and he did ok. As far as one big group...
Count me in. I will be camping, coming up friday in the M35A2. Most likely by myself but I would like to meet up at Cabelas. Is that the one in Hamburg? I'll bring firewood, tools etc.
Anyone interested in running some green trails next weekend. Going to leave my jeep home and take the Deuce up for a change. Might go up friday night and camp out until Sunday. If someone just wants to do the saturday or sunday that's cool too. More the merrier.
I would be interested. I have tried to find something with the Continental logo on it but no luck. You may find an Aviation engine reference but nothing with multifuel or diesel power.
May want to use the MAN Hypercycle wording so it applies to the Hercules, White and Continental engines. It...
Looks good lieutenant Dan, those cylinders are stronger than you would think. That's why I cut pressure down, also it will help slow the action of the cylinder down a bit. If you had full 120 psi it would try to shift the transfer case to fast and most likely break something. Those cylinders...
Will do. I'm not the first person to use a crossflow radiator in a deuce. Truckoholic has a thread on SS about this. I went a little different way but same idea.
Well for the larger diameter fan it would hang down past the bottom of the radiator and probably not add to cooling. I'm pretty sure due to updated design it moves more air than our stock fan even though it is smaller. The pitch of the blades is also way more aggressive. The part number is...
I'm reviving this thread as I had some people asking about my exhaust brake so here is what I did. I do have to credit cranetruck as I was inspired by his idea.
I used a 3 3/4" wabco exhaust brake from a 2001 Kodiak truck that had a cat 3126 engine. Not sure of part number.

I thought about a fan shroud as they make cheap aftermarket ones for hot rods. I just figured I would see how this works and if need be can always add one. Time will tell how it holds up in summer heat and pulling hills. I think because the fan is lighter and maybe more efficient the engine...
it's all made to work together so it's simple once you have it in front of you and like I said you can bench test it while drinking a couple cold ones..:beer:
When I get a chance (and figure out how to post it) I will upload a video.
after market radiator and fan
These are the part numbers I used. Flex a lite 416 - 16" standard rotation fan (puller)

Yes the radiator is shorter because it is a cross flow the...
Well i'm not exactly sure how your valves work but my set up didn't work either until it was completely hooked up. It does rely on feed back pressure to change state of the slave valve. These are the parts I used, right from a heavy truck parts place.

Yeah, I don't see why not. Their is more that one way to do this. Go for it. You can bench test it with a 5 gallon portable air tank. That's how I figured out my set up before I mounted anything.
Yes, the slave valve switches the supply air pressure based on the pilot pressure from the range switch. In high range the pressure goes to one end of the cylinder and in low range it switches to the other end of the cylinder, the exhaust pressure goes out of the range switch.
flex a lite fan
Thought I would share my plastic fan modification. I had a leaking stock radiator that I replaced with a Summit Racing street universal and in the process thought I would ditch the heavy stock fan. It's a flx-416. Just had to enlarge the pilot hole and trim the curved blade a...
Hello, just thought I would try to add to this thread as I have added a air Hi/Low range set up and it has worked great. It cost me less that $150. It is a old school range selector and the slave valve. I used a 2 way air cylinder to just actuate the transfer case lever. Cut supply pressure down...
